Marlo, I want to say thank you for posting this comment. I just found out today that my Dr recommended the fistulotomy and a colonoscopy. I am only 34 yrs old and very scared to death about it.

Please continue to share your experience in this forum if you can because Lord knows I can use all the advice or experiences I can right now.

Sincerely,
Ruben
